SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The normal relation operations (like less) will fail if one of the
operands is NaN. This will cause an exception. To avoid this, C99 defines
these macros. The macros are guaranteed to evaluate their operands only once.
The operand can be of any real floating-point type.

isgreater()

determines (x) > (y) without an exception if x or y is NaN.

isgreaterequal()

determines (x) >= (y) without an exception if x or y is NaN.

isless()

determines (x) < (y) without an exception if x or y is NaN.

islessequal()

determines (x) <= (y) without an exception if x or y is NaN.

islessgreater()

determines (x) < (y) || (x) > (y) without an exception if x or y is NaN.
This macro is not equivalent to x != y because that expression is
true if x or y is NaN.

isunordered()

is true if x or y is NaN and false otherwise.

NOTE

Not all hardware supports these functions, and where it doesn't, they
will be emulated by macros. This will give you a performance penalty.
Don't use these functions if NaN is of no concern for you.
